BEIRUT (AP) — Angry Lebanese protesters have pelted vehicles carrying Syrian expatriates and refugees to their embassy in Beirut to vote with stones and sticks. Syrian President Bashar Assad is running for a fourth seven-year term in a vote all but guaranteed to bring him back as president. The in-country balloting is due next week. The scattered groups of Lebanese waited for convoys of cars and buses carrying Syrian voters in and around Beirut and in the eastern Bekaa region. They pelted them with rocks and smashed windows with sticks Thursday. Lebanon is home to over 1 million Syrians and is the country with the largest per capita refugee population in the region.
